Thamrongrattanarit made his directorial debut at the age of 27 with 36, a film made with 36 sections. He followed this up with Mary is Happy, Mary is Happy, which was funded by Gucci for the Venice Film Festival, where the film premiered. He has been dubbed the Wes Anderson of Thailand, with his unique voice and aesthetic, sense of humour, razor sharp observations, and quirky/likeable characters, and this is not an unfair assessment. We keenly await his next creative venture.
